The State Depaitment of Health, Welfare, Forests and Waters and the Bureau of Fire Protection, State Police, have designed the week be¬ ginning Monday, April 4th, as CLEAN UP WEEK. This custom, which Is an annual one, has always resulted In develop¬ ing a state-wide Interest in 8atiita« tion and the removal of nuisances and fire hazards. For this reason citl?s, boroughs, small communities and individuals throughout the Commonwealth are again urged to cooperate with the Departments in the observance of these activities. It goes without saying that each community may exercise its own Judgement regarding a program. However, it is essential that the in¬ formation gets into local newspapers and before the citizens generally In order that the people may be able to cooperate In the ofticial activities planned The following is suggested merely as a general guide for this obser¬ vance: Monday—April 4th, Highway Day All sidewalks and streets should be cleaned, gutters cleared, ditches opened and sewers flushed. Tuesday—.%pril Sth, Fores^y Day Dispo.se of all brush, litter, and rubbish in or adjoining the forest, particularly along roadsides and rail¬ roads, near sawmills, in clearings and lields. and near houses and cabins. Brush and branches may be scatter¬ ed in the woods where it may quick¬ ly rot. or may be burned. Burning should oniy be done on damp days. (Continued on Page Three) MRS. W. I GOLD LAID TO REST Rotarians I Hold^ Meet The members of the local Rotary Club Monday evening lieard an in¬ teresting address on "Fingerprints" delivered by County Detective H. J.

He also stated that more than two million different prints are on file at Washington. D. C. in the federal files and are available for re¬ ference when certain criminals are wanted, or for comparison. The speaker gave blackboard Illustrations of the manner in whch prints are taken and gave a practical illustra¬ tion of the means employed by mak- j ing prints of the digits of assistant j district attorney William Frack, who is a member of tlie local Rotary club. The history of f^ngerprinlng was traced by the si>eaker. who stat¬ ed that one accustoir.ed to handling j the finished prints could page thro- i ugh a .set of the pictures showing the right and left hand of an individual ] and by experience instantly recog¬ nize which two sets of prints were identical. He cited several instances where criminals were identified successfully by fingerprints atter sev¬ eral years had elaps'jd since they committed a crime when all other methods had failed. P. S. Trumbower presided at the meeting with H. P. Yelsley leading the singing assisted at the piano by Miss Mae Yeisley. Ouests included Rev. M. J.

The State Depaitment of Health, Welfare, Forests and Waters and the Bureau of Fire Protection, State Police, have designed the week be¬ ginning Monday, April 4th, as CLEAN UP WEEK.
This custom, which Is an annual one, has always resulted In develop¬ ing a state-wide Interest in 8atiita« tion and the removal of nuisances and fire hazards.
For this reason citl?s, boroughs, small communities and individuals throughout the Commonwealth are again urged to cooperate with the Departments in the observance of these activities.
It goes without saying that each community may exercise its own Judgement regarding a program. However, it is essential that the in¬ formation gets into local newspapers and before the citizens generally In order that the people may be able to cooperate In the ofticial activities planned
The following is suggested merely as a general guide for this obser¬ vance: Monday—April 4th, Highway Day
All sidewalks and streets should be cleaned, gutters cleared, ditches opened and sewers flushed. Tuesday—.%pril Sth, Fores^y Day
Dispo.se of all brush, litter, and rubbish in or adjoining the forest, particularly along roadsides and rail¬ roads, near sawmills, in clearings and lields. and near houses and cabins. Brush and branches may be scatter¬ ed in the woods where it may quick¬ ly rot. or may be burned. Burning should oniy be done on damp days. (Continued on Page Three)

He also stated that more than two million different prints are on file at Washington. D. C. in the federal files and are available for re¬ ference when certain criminals are wanted, or for comparison. The speaker gave blackboard Illustrations of the manner in whch prints are taken and gave a practical illustra¬ tion of the means employed by mak- j ing prints of the digits of assistant j district attorney William Frack, who is a member of tlie local Rotary club. The history of f^ngerprinlng was traced by the si>eaker. who stat¬ ed that one accustoir.ed to handling j the finished prints could page thro- i ugh a .set of the pictures showing the right and left hand of an individual ] and by experience instantly recog¬ nize which two sets of prints were identical. He cited several instances where criminals were identified successfully by fingerprints atter sev¬ eral years had elaps'jd since they committed a crime when all other methods had failed.
P. S. Trumbower presided at the meeting with H. P. Yelsley leading the singing assisted at the piano by Miss Mae Yeisley.
Ouests included Rev. M. J. Bleber field secretary of the Pacific Theolog¬ ical Seminary. Ralph Slonaker of Lehlgh University.
